J.J. Abrams has chosen his new villain for the sequel to the 2009 critical and commercial success, "Star Trek." Variety told us that it's no other than Mr. Wolfman himself, Benicio Del Toro!

Fantastic!

Del Toro has always been a good actor ("Wolfman" notwithstanding), although we don't know yet what role he's going to play and there's no deal yet! But insiders are saying, it will be signed any minute now!

Abrams will be directing from a script penned by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Damon Lindelof. Production is set to star in early 2012.
